It looks super. Thank you so much for all your hard work in creating this - proud to have it on Spotlight, thank you - Lucas Ward (14)- March 2017

Thank you for your advice and your interest in Rebecca(age 9) and for providing such a fun, and interesting workshop, I am sure she has come away more informed and I know she really enjoyed herself. We are both delighted to have met such lovely genuine personable people such as David and Jane. - Samantha Barry - Watford

Just on the train back home and Tallulah and Kizzy(ages 14 & 16) are full of it , about the day. Thank you so much for organising a fantastic day and David was lovely, very informative, please thank him on our behalf. - Lucy Fassett - Tunbridge Wells, Kent

I just wanted to say thank you, Jarrett (age 11) really enjoyed the workshop, met some lovely people and had fun. He certainly learnt a lot from you and David in one day, not only about techniques but also the demands and expectations of the business, and the level of competition out there! - Lynn Mee, - Epsom, Surrey

Polly(age 11) had fun, made friends and learnt something and would not have missed it for the world - Chris Wildish -Diss, Norfolk

Emily (age 18) really enjoyed today, thank you. She was buzzing with how she can improve by keeping herself in the room with interesting chat, and revealling her personality as a help in landing a part. David had so much knowledge of the right agents to go for and how Emily should market herself. It was a real eye opener. Emily has been to other casting workshops but no-one has ever told her all this before. Margaret James- London

Ollie (age 17)I would like to thank you for the support given to me yesterday. It was also a real eye-opener and I really learnt more from myself as a performer. You helped me understand that I am a 'product' and should be marketing myself to help me get the best chance of success. I want to thank David and Jane for their advice as it has been strongly reflected on, thank you! And see you in the summer for the showreel workshop. Ollie Bridgewater - Birmingham

Louise (adult) one to one advice - David was fantastic. Thank you so much. - Louise Green -Prestwood, Bucks

It was a totally enjoyable and interesting day with David giving us some really useful tips for how to approach auditions and casting agents.

So the day just whizzed by and Ellie (13) learnt such a lot and she would definitely go to another workshop organised by Lumino Films - Diney Bindman- London

Jane Sanger started life at Laine Theatre Arts where her mother taught elocution and drama and she had her first professional role at 11. Later she went to university and then between her 5 children taught drama and art, writing scripts and directing plays. She is an award winning Director of Film and also a successful freelance Casting Director and film Producer.

As an award winning Director and drama teacher of experience I will bring out your best performance so that your reel will be set to imoress and encourage Casting Directors to bring you into the casting room.

We have recently received many requests for showreels but after these two workshops in March, our prices will be rising to £350 per reel with smaller classes of a maximum of 8 participants. The dates throughout the year are as follows:

Sunday July 7 - London

Sunday September 8 - York

Sunday November 24 - London

If an individual reel is required on a different date (tba) of 3 scenes this will be £500 and we will provide suitable actors for your scenes plus makeup, arrange locations and help with costume.

SHOWREEL WORKSHOPS - SE LONDON(zone6) - £200 - full day - 3 scenes. We will get a suitable actor to play opposite you in for the scene. Play a role that makes Casting Directors notice you.

Ages 10 - Adults - Sunday 17 March, 2019 SE London

Ages 10- Adults - Sunday 24 March, 2019, Liverpool

. Want to get ahead? Never cast for the roles you want? Perform a scene that shows you can do it. We will rehearse and perfect 3 duologues or group scenes from dynamic comtemporary scripts. From the max 12 attendees you will be linked with various other actors to bring out the best in your acting skills. A mixed age group is more relaistic for the roles offered in many contemporary pieces .These three scenes will be fully edited by Ashley P Saunders and sent digitally to you as a stand alone showreel.You may send me other clips to add. It will be your chance to try out roles you have not had the chance to perform before and perhaps take a leading role. To make the most of this lines will need to be learnt prior to the workshop. Run by Jane Sanger.

Watch this video of the very successful Ellie Bindman, who came to my workshop in 2014 and now at age 19 through her hard work and talent has been cast for Call the Midwife, Casualty, Grantchester to name a few.
